Ok, I'm aware fleabay has numerous people offering the service but I'd like to know if any Arrsers have managed it themselves & could possibly assist?

I've even managed to aquire a list of APN settings to use GPRS for numerous Countries but none of the wiser, so any techies available to post or PM me an idiots guide as my Knowledge in these things has it's limits.

If its any help I used this ebay unlocker, successfully on my Huawei E586 last month. They take payment via paypal, IIRC it was around £7. 3 charge £15.99 and will take a number of days to respond.

Once I sent payment they replied via email within an hour, with full instructions. IIRC I had to place a different sim card into the device to get the unlock to proceed. They were also very quick to respond when the first attempt failed to work.

If you check the website you will find there is a huge resource of assistance in their FAQ section, the bit they don't make public is the unlock code itself.
I can vouch that the code they sent me worked fine on 2nd attempt after getting some assistance from them, which was impressively fast for an ebay type deal. I think from selection of the unlocker to having a fully unlocked working mifi unit was under 90 minutes. This particular dealer is UK based, so there was none of the problems you may encounter from eastern european or asian dealers. That helped a lot.
